I just bought Roxio creator 2010, but my drive won't read it. It reads all other apps that I have, over 100 apps.

first, check the disc is clean. If it is, try copying it to a folder on the hard drive and run setup.exe from there
If that fails, the disc is damaged and then you bring it back for a replacament to wherever you bought it

If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

Your drive won't read the install disc? Exactly what does it do? Can you see the disc in My Computer and explore it? Please give a little more detail of exactly what you are doing and any messages you see on the screen.

Are you trying to read the disc in the right sort of drive?
It's a DVD, not a CD.

Windows sees the drive, but when I click on it, it shows nothing. Just like the disc is blank!

Thank you.
If the disc shows no contents when you Open or Explore it in Windows I'd suggest you check it in another machine if you can [just so you can say you have], and then negotiate immediately with your supplier for a replacement disc.
There's nothing sneakily special that you have to do to see the contents of a properly manufactured C2010 disc, so if your drive sees other data DVDs but not this one, then odds-on the disc is defective.

Thanks Brendon. I had another drive in my machine and tried the disc in it. It read it with no problem. Guess I'll go shopping today for a new drive.
Thanks again to you and everyone who responded so quickly and with good tips.
